Arsenal have moved three points clear at the top of the English Premier League table following a crucial 1-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

The Gunners secured all three points through Kai Havertz's first-half goal, handing Mikel Arteta's side a significant boost in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Havertz scored in the 16th minute after Declan Rice capitalised on a defensive mistake by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Rice delivered a dangerous ball into the box, which Havertz converted to give the visitors the advantage.

Liverpool pushed for an equaliser but struggled to break down Arsenal's organised defence. The hosts created several opportunities, including a Florian Wirtz free-kick that struck the crossbar, but could not find a way past the visitors.

The result takes Arsenal to 24 points from nine matches, having recorded eight victories and one defeat. They now enjoy a three-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City, who suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Brighton on Saturday.

Brighton occupy third position with 19 points, while Chelsea are fourth on 16 points after defeating Manchester United 2-0.

Liverpool remain fifth with 15 points from nine matches, having suffered their second league defeat of the campaign. The result leaves them nine points behind Arsenal, creating a significant gap between the two sides.

Brentford complete the top six with 14 points, while Bournemouth and Tottenham occupy seventh and eighth positions respectively, both having collected 12 points.

Arsenal's victory also carries historical significance, marking their first Premier League away win against Liverpool at Anfield since September 2012.

With the season still in its early stages, Arteta's men have strengthened their title credentials. Their next challenge will be maintaining consistency as Manchester City and other chasing teams attempt to close the gap.

The latest standings underline Arsenal's growing advantage, although the title race remains open with several months of football still to come.
